App Review: The Bible

Where are the Biblical references for Passover and Easter found in the Bible?

You might have to use a concordance and some time to find the passages in the printed version of the Holy Book, but with the YouVersion® Bible App you can answer this question and many more in just seconds. This full featured app, with over 137,000,000 downloads, will keep you sharp on the origin of these important holidays.

The Bible App is available in over 500 different versions including: NIV (New International Version), King James Versions, American Standard Version and hundreds more. It is offered in over 400 different languages and has been downloaded in every country even those where the printed version is not allowed. You can use the Bible app while you are connected to the Internet or while you are off-line.

If you don’t know where to start with reading the Bible there are over 100 different reading plans on topics ranging from Easter, Lent, Christmas, to divorce, dating, marriage, anger, and drinking. The plans range from a few days to months. There are even plans that will walk you through reading the Bible from beginning to end in one year. If want to just “listen” to the Bible, you can choose the audio option with just one tap!

Just like in your printed Bible, you can highlight, bookmark, and even make personal notes. If you highlight or bookmark a passage you can tap on that icon from the dashboard and quickly see the verses you have marked.

If you can’t make it to church, you can watch live services from just about any location through the App. Just click the “Live” link on the App dashboard.

A Children’s version of the Bible App is available in the App Stores, too. It was released in December of 2013 and had over 1,000,000 downloads the first week it was released. New stories are being added to the children’s version with a new one added on April 4th titled “God’s Wonderful Gift”.
